Phew.... finally Thu is here... one more day till weekend. And coming Monday is Memorial Day...public holiday! Yeah!!! Yeah!!!

Slept till 10plus today... was awaken by Jared, our property manager. He came to spray the weed killers for our front & backyard. But there was none, guess the heat killed them all.. hahahahahahaha.... Begin to prepare for lunch after that. Cooked chicken rice, with watercress soup. Very hot lately and might be heaty. Didn't feel very well when i woke up.... sore throat and kinda feel "ache" all over the body.

So, we had lunch at about 2pm and at 2.30, Paul went to work. He's in the PM shift this week therefore usually wakes up only at about 1.30 or so...enough time to bathe, eat & go work. Sometimes will even squeeze into half hr to play his game. Sigh..... (shake head)

10.50pm --> Heard some noise outside my house while typing away... sounded like someone dropping boxes or pushing the trash can (plastic). Went to peep at the side window but didn't see anything. Then, was worried that maybe someone was in my backyard cos the "pom pom" sound was coming from that direction. Went to the kitchen, slided open the backdoor and .... Wow!!! There were fireworks on the left of my house!! Wow...the view was spectacular, especially with the US skies being so dark... It seems to be from the baseball stadium nearby...hmmm... i wonder for what special occasion. Don't remember that Memorial Day was such a big deal except for shopping.

Apart from Thanksgiving Sales in late Nov.... Memorial Day Sales is the 2nd best shopping period.... sale sale sale.... everywhere.... heheheehheheee.... (shopping freaks, u know who u are. And u now know when is the best time to come if u ever plan to come) Sadly I will not be enjoying Memorial Day as much as other ppl this time. As I'm going to Washington in Jun for a week, have to save some money to go shopping with Liz; another 1-2 week holiday in Jul; may be going to Las Vegas in Aug for work, sure spend money; then there's Paul's birthday holiday. Money not enough ah!!!!

Ok... where was I before all this fireworks and shopping? Hmmm.... yes, Paul & his game. So, he went to work... and I took a half hr nap... wasn't feeling too well. Wnt to step aerobics at 5pm, continued with dinner at a bakery name "Wildflower". Oh i love the place... this is my dream... to open a bakery that's small & cozy.... serving up my favourite bread, cakes & desserts. Had a vege soup & fruit salad (didn't touch it at all cos no appetite, but thank goodness for the American culture. Everything also can "tapau"!) & Cranberry scone (yummy).

Here I am now.... writing about my day. Am going to sleep.... can feel the heat rising....
